Jardin d'acclimation Description

This wonderful treed park, which has playgrounds, a spraying rainbow and sunflower, animals from a typical Normandy farm, and pony rides, is located in the Bois de Bologne at the West End of Paris. There are pint-sized play structures, xylophones of all shapes and sizes in a "music garden," tennis-court sized trampolines, and two itchy European brown bears — to say nothing of the thrills and chills of the country fair-like amusement park attractions, including three rollercoasters and a bucking horsey ride.

Kid Tips

Toddlers & Pre-K: Kids under 3 get into the Jardin for free, and there is so much for them to do here, including the train ride, the puppet shows, and pint-sized play structures. "Le Dragon" near the playgrounds is not too fast, it goes past a small waterfall and is a good starter coaster for amusement park trainees.

School-Age Kids: Kids 11 and older can drive the go-karts themselves.

Pre-Teens & Teens: Explore@dom has science displays and video editing and film classes for teens.

Planning Notes

Buy a pack of tickets. If your family plans to go on the rides, it is much less expensive to buy a packet of tickets (sold in 5, 15, 25, and 50) than to pay as you go.

Select the rides carefully. Unlike at American amusement parks, there are few height restrictions here. Even so, many a small child comes off the rides crying. Watch the ride before you go on to make sure it's not too intense for your child.

Take the Metro. The Jardin is accessible by bus, car, and Metro. If you take the Metro to Porte Maillot you can take a little train directly into the park (for an extra fee).

Go on Saturday. If you can't go during the week when there aren't as many people, Saturdays tend to be less crowded than Sundays.

Bring a towel and a bathing suit. To take advantage of the wading pool and spray park.
